Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 189 Borrowing land from Qin Keqing
Yun Tao turned his head and looked at "Master Jia" in front of him with a question mark on his head.

Jia Qiong said: "I, Jia Qiong, have come to let you out according to the Holy Spirit's command. Come with me."

Yun Tao said in surprise: "You are here to let me out, so I don't have to die?"

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "The emperor said that your life and death are at my disposal.

For the sake of being able to keep one's conscience and not be afraid of life and death in the face of national justice.

I will first place your head on your head and then punish you to do hard labor beside me.

When will you make a great contribution and make up for it, when will I return your freedom? "

Yun Guang shouted unhappily: "What, you want me to do hard labor with you?

If I don't do it, the scholar can't be killed, so you might as well kill me. "

Jia Qiong sneered and said: "Okay, it's not easy to die, I will help you.

The dagger is still in your hand, so kill yourself now. "

Yun Tao blinked when he heard this, looked at the dagger in his hand, swallowed and said, "Can I choose a way to die by myself?"

Jia Qiong smiled happily and said, "Okay, how do you want to die?"

Yun Tao said cowardly: "I want to die of old age."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "Okay, I will let you die of old age.

Wanying, there is no need to deliver food to him from now on, just let him die here. "

Wan Ying cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I humbly obey my orders.

Sir, can you give him some water? "

"Water is precious, don't waste it on dead people."

After Jia Qiong finished speaking, he walked out of the cell. Yun Tao looked at Wan Ying with a bitter look on his face and asked, "You're not really going to deny me food, are you?"

Wan Ying smiled and said: "Master Jia ordered me to make fun of you.

I think your brain is not working very well. What a great opportunity it is to be with Mr. Jia. Others can't even ask for it.

Do you know that the four Jinyi captains who followed you earlier have already been promoted to [-] households in just three months?

If you don't cherish the opportunity, you'll just wait here to die. "

After saying that, Wanying also left the cell, closing the door and locking it.

Yun Tao quickly gave up, ran to the door, and shouted to Jia Qiong against the fence: "Master Jia, I am willing to work as a hard labor for you, please let me out."

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "You are willing, but I am not willing."

Yuntao quickly begged for mercy: "No, sir, I know I was wrong, just accept me."

Jia Qiong didn't care and walked away.

He knew that someone with a thorn like Yuntao would not be honest until he suffered enough.

Yuntao shouted from behind: "Hey, I'm talking about dying of old age, not dying of starvation! You have to give me food to eat!"

……

Jia Qiong still admires this kind of people. Although their brains are a bit poor, their character is not a problem.

Not to mention his martial arts skills, he is just right to be hired as a bodyguard.

Once loyalty is developed, he can be sent out to lead troops, and he can also make friends with Yun Guang, killing two birds with one stone.

It was already midnight when Jia Qiong returned home. Seeing that the lights in Qin Keqing's room were still on, she opened the door and came in directly.

Qin Keqing was wearing a very eye-catching sexy dress at the moment, lying on his side on the couch and dozing off, with a book beside him.

Hearing the noise, she opened her eyes and said happily: "You're back. Why are you so late? Have you had dinner?"

Jia Qiong smiled and said, "I've already eaten outside. From now on, when I come back late, you just go to bed first. You don't have to wait for me. I'll see how sleepy you are."

Qin Keqing said shyly: "I'm not waiting for you specifically. I just fell asleep while reading a book."

Jia Qiong smiled and hugged Qin Keqing and said, "Really? Why is that lady wearing my favorite piece of obscene clothing?"

Qin Keqing didn't know how to answer, and looked shy.

Jia Qiong said: "Ke Qing, I want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?"

"But Qing, don't you have two farms in your dowry? Can you lend me one?"

"What did you say, husband? If you want to use it, don't use it. Why use the word thank you?"

"Hey, thank you. Let me thank you properly, madam."

……

The clouds closed and the rain stopped, Qin Keqing fell into a deep sleep, but Jia Qiong did not fall asleep. He was still thinking about the mutual aid department and the company over and over.

This plan has been approved by Emperor Longqing, and it can be launched.

This was a big project, involving all aspects, and he had to think carefully about it.

First, he needs to prepare funds. Now he has about 80 taels of silver, most of which is still stored in the Wang family.

This is the money earned from selling sugar in partnership with the Wang family in the past few years, as well as the subsequent sales of several novels.

Wang Yuyan and Qin Keqing both had a lot of money for their dowry, so it would be no problem to scrape together 20 taels.

It will definitely not be a problem to borrow another 50 taels from my father-in-law, Wang Hun, so we have 150 million taels.

There is still a shortfall of about 350 million taels of silver, and he will have to find another way to raise it.

First of all, he thought of the Xue family. Ever since Xuan Zhenzi's bull-nosed remarks about Taiyin fate, the matter of him marrying Xue Baochai has been put on the table.

Xue Pan was very supportive, and he expressed it when they were drinking together.

Aunt Xue was hesitant at first. After all, Jia Qiong was already married, and Baochai could only be an equal wife.

However, after Jia Qiong was promoted to a noble rank, Aunt Xue met Jia Qiong's holy pet and basically approved of it. It can be said that this matter is almost inseparable.

Since the two families are related by marriage, he can bring the Xue family together to do this business, and he can also use the Xue family's business network.

With the Xue family's financial resources, it shouldn't be a big problem to come up with 50 taels of silver.

Then there is the Lin family, the fifth generation of the Lin family, which is not as extravagant as the Jia family, and is very rich.

There is a saying in later generations that the Jia family spent millions of taels of silver to build the Grand View Garden, using the Lin family's money.

Jia Qiong cannot prove whether this statement is true, but it is certain that the Lin family is rich.

Moreover, Lin Ruhai had the final say in everything that happened in the Lin family. With his relationship with Lin Ruhai, it shouldn't be difficult to lend him 50 taels of silver.

If the two families add up another 100 million taels, they will have 250 million taels.

In fact, with this money, Jia Qiong can use some modern business methods to start the plan.

However, Jia Qiong still plans to raise funds from civil and military officials. Only by allowing more people to benefit can this project advance more smoothly.

Thinking of this, Jia Qiong stopped sleeping, got up, went to the study, and wrote a few letters first.

He wrote letters to Wang Hun and Lin Ruhai respectively. The contents of the letters were basically the same, they were borrowing money and asking them to buy the money into grain and transport it to the capital.

For this reason, he also wrote a letter to Lu Yu, hoping that his family could provide help.

The Lu family is a big landowner in Songjiang and is in the shipping business. They can help with the purchase and transportation of grain.

After writing the letter, Jia Qiong started working on the plan again and was busy until the fourth watch before taking a nap.
